“Roden Crater, located in the Painted Desert region of Northern Arizona, is an unprecedented large-scale artwork created within a volcanic cinder cone by light and space artist James Turrell. Representing the culmination of the artist’s lifelong research in the field of human visual and psychological perception, Roden Crater is a controlled environment for the experiencing and contemplation of light.” 

Website says “...approaching the final stage of construction and public opening.”   I keep checking.

"Turrell often cites the Parable of Plato's Cave to introduce the notion that we are living in a reality of our own creation, subject to our human sensory limitations as well as contextual and cultural norms. This is evident in Turrell's over eighty Skyspaces, chambers with an aperture in the ceiling open to the sky. The simple act of witnessing the sky from within a Turrell Skyspace, notably at dawn and dusk, reveals how we internally create the colors we see and thus, our perceived reality. Turrell's medium is pure light. He says, "My work has no object, no image and no focus. With no object, no image and no focus, what are you looking at? You are looking at you looking. What is important to me is to create an experience of wordless thought." https://www.instagram.com/p/CiQdz7jNh6E/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Turrell and Irwin were colleagues working in the Southern California-based Light and Space movement, and their work shares a similar commitment to flawless finish and mysterious effect, often involving the perception of light and volume. The works shown above are clearly experiential in nature, and their effects are difficult to comprehend from photographs; in fact, Irwin used to ban all forms of photographic reproduction of his works, insisting that they must be viewed in person to be understood. Turrell has spent much of his career, since the late 1970s, working on his large-scale earthwork Roden Crater; Irwin, who tends to alter his approach radically depending on the nature of each new project he encounters, is possibly best known for his garden at the Getty Center in Los Angeles.

Virtual Sketchbook 1

Hey everybody my name is Jack, one fact about me is that I have a freckle on the palm of my hand. The art I was assigned was by James Turrell and he created the Daylight and LED light, dimensions variable, installation cycles through the color spectrum in an hour. 2013 Aten Reign. 

James Turrell is an American Artist, born in California. He has his pilot license and has flown to remote areas. He has studied in many fields' perceptual phycology, art, and math. He is working on a project currently it's called Roden Crater. It is a cinder cone crater that he is turning into an observatory. 

At first, I just thought it was a person standing under just some led light with no meaning to be honest. Now I think of the contrast between light and dark on a deeper level after just looking at it for myself. LED lights is a awesome addition to art and I think the idea is a pretty good one. Other than that nothing else has changed my perception but, am willing to see a different viewpoint of the art.

2. This painting resembles my mother and cat. It serves as a painting that I can use to view my pet and mom together. I think it is beautiful because its two of the most important and key figures in my life. I wouldn't be here without both of them.

3. I am 19 years old. I'm a male. I am from Florida. I am Caucasian. I watch anime, workout, and play video games for fun. Im not in any group. I work as security for certain events and games. What makes me unique is that nobody experienced my 19 years of living except for me.

4. Self portrait of myself that is edited. Since anime is one of my favorite things to watch I decided to use this as my self portrait a anime style version of me.

More Light Art

The minimalist artist Dan Flavin (1933-1996) created "Light Icons" by enclosing fluorescent light tubes in the shape of picture frames on blank walls. He gained significant fame for his light installations created using commercially available coloured neon lights. "Light Barriers" formed rows of neon light tubes indoors, resembling a fence, filling the surrounding space with a captivating atmosphere of colors and evoking sensory experiences for the viewers.

James Turrell, born in 1943, has considered light the most crucial element in his art throughout his 50-year artistic career. From his small-scale works on paper and holograms at the Guggenheim Museum to "Roden Crater" in the Arizona desert, Turrell has dedicated himself to artistic representations of the mechanisms of visual perception.

I particularly like James Turrell's work because of his clever references to natural light and interaction with art galleries. I once saw his solo exhibition in Shanghai and I remember feeling very much the Zen, uncertainty and softness that he brings to his work. The light and shadows were artificial but poetic. The Roden Crater made a huge shift in my understanding of contemporary art. That was the first time I felt the pleasantness of the artwork, which made me unconsciously immersed in it.

James Turrell

“My work has no object, no image and no focus. With no object, no image and no focus, what are you looking at? You are looking at you looking. What is important to me is to create an experience of wordless thought.” – James Turrell

Turrell emerged as one of the foremost artists associated with what is known as the Light and Space movement, which began in Southern California in the mid-1960s. For over half a century, he has worked directly with light and space to create artworks that engage viewers with the limits and wonder of human perception. He has dedicated his practice to what he has deemed perceptual art, investigating the materiality of light.

Influenced by the notion of pure feeling in pictorial art, Turrell’s earliest work focused on the dialectic between constructing light and painting with light, building on the sensorial experience of space, colour, and perception. These interactions became the foundation for Turrell’s oeuvre. Since his earliest Projection Pieces (1966–69), his exploration has expanded through various series, including Skyspaces (1974–), Ganzfelds (1976–), and perhaps most notably, his Roden Crater Project (1977–) near Flagstaff, Arizona.

Turrell’s practice has equally materialized in small-scale works, including architectural models, holograms, and works on paper.
